+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| Scandinavian Black Metal has been in dire need for an injection of |
| fresh blood during the last years. Now RIMFROST are powerfully |
| sticking it to this scene with ice-cold needles. ôVeraldar Nagliö, |
| which translates as "Axis of the World" û meaning the North Star, is |
| unleashing an avalanche of frost-bitten, melodic riffing. The Swedes |
| from Borσs are organically fusing Black, Death and Thrash Metal into |
| a mighty sound of their own. RIMFROST successfully merge the frost- |
| bitten drive of early IMMORTAL with the pounding groove and |
| catchiness of AMON AMARTH and the harsh attitude of SLAYER. Despite |
| this heavy name-dropping the duo has created a sound of its own long |
| since its founding and honed it to sophistication in its eighth year |
| of existence. |
| |
| |
| RIMFROST start out in summer 2002, when 14 year old singer and |
| guitarist Hravn joins forces with drummer Throllv of same age under |
| the name M╓RKRETS FURSTAR (ôLords of Darknessö) in the Swedish town |
| Hagfors. In October 2002 they record a first demo on a four-channel |
| MD4 and the result is self-titled to ôM÷rkrets Furstarö After |
| playing primitive Black Metal and exclusively using Swedish lyrics, |
| the band changes its name to RIMFROST and a more technical style |
| just one year later. |
| |
| |
| In these early years the members of the band are still a bunch of |
| school kids, but driven by a strong will and burning desire to play |
| Black Metal. Their first demo under the name RIMFROST is recorded in |
| the year 2003 in the Hairy Bones Studios in Karlstad. ôUnredeemed |
| Demonsö features English lyrics and is released in only ten copies |
| although the booklet states fifteen. Spending most of their time in |
| the rehearsal room Hravn and Throllv quickly progress in their |
| abilities as musicians and songwriters. One year later the band is |
| getting serious. Joined by bassist Frozthirw they enter the Black |
| Lounge Studios in Avesta to recorded new demo songs with producer |
| Jonas Kjellgren and the declared aim to acquire a record deal. These |
| demo recordings become known under the title ôWinds of Hostilityö |
| (2005), but are never published. There is immediate interest, but |
| the labels ask for another song. RIMFROST return to Avesta and |
| accordingly record ôAt the Mighty Halls TheyÆll Walkö. |
| |
| |
| RIMFROST receive a good offer and the members being young quickly |
| sign a deal, which they come to regret later. The signing includes |
| one EP and two albums. The Swedes release three of their demo songs |
| as an MCD in December 2005. ôA Journey to a Greater Endö. The first |
| reactions are enthusiastic and RIMFROST get chosen out of hundreds |
| of contenders to perform at the prestigious Inferno Festival in |
| Oslo, Easter 2006. The SwedesÆ performance is greeted by fans and |
| press alike as one of the very coolest newcomers this year and |
| introduces them to an international audience. |
| |
| |
| All seems bright, while RIMFROST prepare for their debut album, but |
| during the rehearsals Hravn and Throllv decide to part ways with |
| Frozthirw. As a new bassist the duo recruits Beuwolf, who has |
| already performed with them as a live guitarist and shares the other |
| membersÆ visions on musical expression and professionalism of |
| performance. During six days in August 2006 RIMFROST return to the |
| Black Lounge Studios to produce their debut album with Jonas |
| Kjellgren once again. ôA Frozen World Unknownö is released on the |
| 28th of October 28th the same year. Although the album is received |
| with critical acclaim, dark clouds are now gathering on the horizon. |
| The band discovers that it has serious disagreements with its label |
| and Throllv moves from Hagfors to Borσs. The long distance between |
| the members as well as the search for a new label after the band |
| decides to quit their previous deal effectively put all activities |
| on hold. |
| |
| |
| In January 2008 Hravn follows Throllv to Borσs and RIMFROST is |
| infused with new live. After extensive rehearsals and writing new |
| material the band signs a new deal with Season of Mist out of |
| several interesting offers. After almost a year of preparation it |
| becomes clear that now Beuwolf lives at too great a distance to |
| continue playing in RIMFROST. Both sides conclude with regrets to |
| part ways as friends for the time being, but Beuwolf continues to |
| assist the main duo in its song-writing and will hopefully join the |
| band again as a guest musician in future. |
| |
| |
| Without a permanent bass-player in the band, Peter Laustsen (Nox |
| Aurea, ex-The Cold Existence) takes over those duties as a session- |
| member and plucks all thick strings during the recording of |
| ôVeraldar Nagliö. RIMFROSTÆs second album is brought to perfection |
| in Sonic Train Studios with renowned producer Andy La Rocque (King |
| Diamond) heading the proceedings and assisted by Peter Laustsen as |
| well as the band. With the release of ôVeraldar Nagliö on November |
| 16th, 2009 (January 12th, 2010 in the USA) a new chapter will be |
| opened by the Swedish hopefuls. Now the band is ready to conquer the |
| world with Nordic wrath and will hopefully soon embark on tours and |
| festivals near you. Let this Black Metal blizzard capture your soul! |
